Wheat & Sons can perform your air conditioning installation efficiently and expertly.

Things to consider before installing a new air conditioner

Before you schedule your air conditioning installation in Silver Spring, there are a few important things you should take into account:

Size of your air conditioner – The size of your air conditioner is based on a number of factors:

How large your home is

How many windows you have

How much shade your home gets

How much insulation you have

How much air leaks out of your house

How much heat your home’s occupants and appliances generate

The size of your air conditioner is the single most important factor in determining how efficient your home’s cooling will be. Too large and the unit will cost more to purchase and will cycle on and off more frequently, providing inefficient cooling and causing your compressor and parts to wear out more quickly. In addition, an oversized air conditioner will not provide adequate moisture control. Too small and the system will have to run constantly to keep up with the demands you place on it, and that’s not good either! Your James A. Wheat & Sons technician can look at your home and tell you exactly the size air conditioner you need in you Silver Spring to be as comfortable as possible.

Efficiency of your air conditioner – In general, high-efficiency air conditioners have larger upfront costs. However, the higher initial cost is usually repaid several times over during the unit’s lifespan because of energy savings. In addition, your utility company may encourage the purchase of a new high-efficiency air conditioner by offering special rebates to offset the cost further. If you think you will use it often or if your electricity rates are high, buying a more expensive, high-efficiency air conditioner is a good investment that will pay off in the future.

We had a new natural gas water heater replaced today by John and Damon of Wheat & Sons. This was not an easy job, as it was on the 3rd floor of our DC townhouse. Having tired of dealing with some marginal contractors for other home repairs, I decided to spend a few extra dollars for the horsepower of a responsible organization with bench strength. That paid off. Because of some glitches in the replacement, these two installers spent most...

Our technician, Tom, was outstanding. He was thorough, thoughtful, explained the work to be done, the cost, options, and seemed to take the minimum amount of time to complete the work. The technician’s helper, who came along with Tom, was also a great asset. It was a wonderful experience for us. But, it always is when we call James A. Wheat & Sons. Thank you for providing us with such good service.
